I have lost count of the number of free tickets we have been offered by Vue, simply as a result of turning up (and latterly, even calling in advance to let them know we are coming), and the AD still not working. I don't know what the deal is. One would think it would be straightforward enough, but the staff seem untrained and unaware. And then quite condescending when you suggest (for the umpteenth time) that it might be something to do with them or the system, rather than you, the user, just not using the equipment properly. They usually get it working eventually...about half way through the film. Great, eh? As I said, grrrr.Kevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522294370464272999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11122839.post-1146673991903157702006-05-03T16:33:00.000+00:002006-05-03T16:33:00.000+00:00Hi Damon!

Pah! <BR/><BR/>At least disabled people have facilities for them in Cineworld though, and the Stevenage one is a good one, I enjoy going to.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02305216663591446183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11122839.post-1146652848928634742006-05-03T10:40:00.000+00:002006-05-03T10:40:00.000+00:00In Germany Great Britain is pictured as being heav...In Germany Great Britain is pictured as being heaven on earth when it comes to audio description and subtitling. Seems we have to do some re-thinking... But keep checking the pages for an AD version of "16 Blocks". It's a great movie!BloggingMonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17767164739217269193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11122839.post-1146645592540288992006-05-03T08:39:00.000+00:002006-05-03T08:39:00.000+00:00Now that just sucks royally.

Did like your bit about the ice cream vendor.<BR/><BR/>Only marginally related, and I will blog about it soon when I am more fully awake: my city of 55,000 people is crowing that they now have <B>FIVE</B> new buses for public transport. Mind you, these are really only large vans, not real city buses, about 20 passengers, I believe. This is the first time in over forty years that this college town has provided <B>any sort of public transportation</B>. I was considering moving away because I know the day is coming when I will no longer be driving.<BR/><BR/>Probably the only reason they have the service now is that a huge new mall has recently opened, and we must get the poor folks to the mall, right? Never mind getting them to the freaking hospital or grocery store!Daredivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03670501039306117857noreply@blogger.com
